“I don’t like a lot of color, and I don’t like a lot of clutter. I like things to be simple and direct.” – Gil Elvgren.This post features another work of Gil Elvgren – an artist who started out by creating illustrations for calendars and advertisements, then turned to creating pinup art. Of course, he was also an accomplished portrait painter. And this skill appears in this pinup art which shows a beautiful woman, at the bottom of a set of stairs, holding a lamp and a gun. A noise has disturbed her and what made the noise? Her cat!
Known as a humorous artist, at times, this pinup illustrates Elvgren’s sense of humor.
A reproduction of this image of this beautiful woman on the stairs is available as an 8.5 x 11 inch photo print. It is for sale at my store on eBay (without the watermark). You can learn more about purchasing a photo print titled “Looking for Trouble” by clicking on the picture. Or click on the link below the art to be taken to this eBay item.
The Cat, the Girl and the GunAlone in the house, she and the cat, Puff – her sister’s cat, a sister a statistic of one of the many ways people die, too soon. She and the cat had mourned together forging their own bond. Alone, too, because her spouse was away – serving the country, perhaps, saving the world. Then the bang?? broke her light slumber – not the creaking of the old house’s wooden structure settling in its own sleep, or the thunder from the storm outside, this sound was inside – a disturbing noise that needed investigation. Alone, she carried with her the inherited revolver, her father’s passing gift – said to be one of Doc Holliday’s guns – her great grandfather played poker in Tombstone and Colorado in the old days (and often won). Down the stairs she crept ready for anything – only to find relief when she would discover the mystery was but a case of the cat, Puff, knocking off a vase from top a cabinet. ©2024 Carl Scott Harker, author of Classic Fine Art of Cats |
